Classism, Layoffs, And Bad Cola
Free off-brand cola in the break room that is 10 minutes from your assigned area.
High levels of classism. Friends and family will be given best roles. Brown-nosing is required. Frequent layoffs. Constant mandatory overtime. Little room for promotion or raise if not part of the inside group. If you file an HR complaint, you become blacklisted. Many reasons to file HR complaints. Salary below industry median. No respect unless a salaried employee. By no means is this place a meritocracy.
The strategic goals of Tesla are in contrast to that of its workers.
The reason Tesla is having a hard time recruiting is because it has burned its bridges with all of the old employees that were good at their jobs but did not fit the company culture (attractive 25-year-olds with college degrees).
Working at GF1 was basically just Tinder for the under-25 crowd, as there were no expectations on them to work because the older, experienced workers were doing most of the work and getting no recognition.
